Well Done, Ms. Mackenzie

May 27th, 2005 Posted in Main Page

After two years heading up Nortel's P.R. department, Marion Mackenzie is moving on to greener and, hopefully, calmer pastures. It has to be one of the most demanding and thankless corporate P.R. jobs given Nortel's accounting woes, senior management changes and business challenges. If anything, doing “time” at Nortel is a great way to pick up tremendous crisis P.R. skills, which can only be a good thing for the next assignment. Let's hope Ms. Mackenzie has given her successor, Bill Durling (who surprise, surprise is not a Canadian) some going away pointers on proper media relations - i.e. do not issue press releases at 8 p.m. on Fridays. Anyway, good luck Marion. Enjoy your much-deserved time off!
